Creator Ben Watkins on 'Cross' Season 2's Dark Prediction
11 Feb
Summary
- Season 2's villain Lance Durand mirrors Jeffrey Epstein's dark society.
- The series explores child labor, human trafficking, and wealth inequality.
- Creator Ben Watkins unintentionally predicted current societal issues.

Ben Watkins, the creator of 'Cross,' expressed surprise at the timely nature of Season 2's storyline, which features a mystery eerily similar to Jeffrey Epstein's activities. Watkins, who developed the plot in late 2022 and early 2023, felt the show's marketing team noted his prophetic vision. The new season introduces Lance Durand, a charismatic CEO of Crestbrook Corporations, whose nationwide food factories are built on inhumane practices and a clandestine society. This dark enterprise is supported by wealthy 1% figures, echoing Epstein's circle.
